Sake cocktails

Commonly referred to as a ‘rice-wine’ sake is phenomenal in cocktails and pairs well with any spirit. However, beware, a sake’s delicate flavours can be easily shrouded. Use a good quality sake - we recommend a Junmai ginjō.

Iced Sake MartiniA simple combination of vodka, sake and icewine (a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine). The icewine adds interesting and wonderfully honeyed notes to this Sake Martini.

Sake MartiniA dry, subtle version of a Sake Marini, the quality of this drink really depends on your choice of sake. Use London dry gin, sake and dry vermouth stirred down and garnish with an apple slice.

Sakura MartiniThis sake based reverse martini benefits from the merest dash of maraschino and is the signature cocktail at Kenta Goto's 'Bar Goto' in New York City.
